Finding Homologous Structures of your protein in the PDB
To find homologous structures - go into the PDB and do an Advanced Search. One of the options on the pull down window on the Advanced Search page is Enzyme Classification. Type in your EC number.
It will give you a list - then narrow that down on the left hand side by other bacterial/protozoan organisms (pick ones that are more taxonomically similar to your organism)
NOTE: this just finds homologous enzymes - but these may not be sufficient for creating a homology model. Need to do BLAST pairwise comparison to determine that.
